Liverpool Way
« Previous EntriesHow can winning ever mean as much again? – by Chris Smith
As the Liverpool team triumphantly walked up the Wembley steps to collect winners medals for the first time since 1995, the biggest cheer from those who made the journey to Anfield South, and those, like us, who crammed into the bars in Liverpool, was reserved for the last man in line.
As he lifted the trophy [...]
That’s what we paid £35m for! – by Pete Schulz
Was that performance by Andy Carroll on Tuesday the best individual performance we’ve seen this season? I reckon so, with perhaps Steven Gerrard against Everton and Luis Suarez at Norwich running it close. But they both scored hattricks whereas Carroll didn’t get a goal against Chelsea at Anfield. He didn’t need to.
Everything about his play [...]
Weekend Round Up (August 20-22 2011)
Not going to dwell on our game as it’s been covered in the match report, but fair play to MOTD for making it look like Arsenal were hard done to. Some feat that, and if someone can explain the offside rule to Jonathon Pearce (and Arsene Wenger for that matter) that [...]
Weekend Round Up (August 13-15 2011)
Football was back, but not exactly with a bang. As far as opening weekends go, it was a bit shit. Perhaps my view on that is tainted because we didn’t win, but even leaving aside our own disappointment I thought it was a fairly dull, and sadly predictable weekend. The mancs came [...]
Fulham 2 Liverpool 5 – Match Reaction
Well that was alright wasn’t it? Five goals away from home, and in truth it could and should have been closer to double that. Time and again we ripped Fulham apart, and with some better finishing and decision making in the penalty area this could have been a record scoreline. We were [...]
Arsenal 1 Liverpool 1 – Match Reaction
15th August 2010. The reds perform heroically, overcoming Joe Cole’s unjust red card to lead 1-0 against the Gunners as the final whistle approached. Then out of nowhere, a freak own goal from Reina gives Arsenal a draw they didn’t deserve. I was proper gutted that night, it was really difficult to [...]
West Brom 2 Liverpool 1 – Match Reaction
Add West Brom to the list now then. All the dregs of the league have beaten us except Wigan who could only manage two draws. They must be kicking themselves. It’s beyond a joke, and this was absolute crap. West Brom were worthy winners, they completely bossed the first half and [...]
Sunderland 0 Liverpool 2 – Match Reaction
20 points now from a possible 30 since Kenny Dalglish took the helm in January. When you consider that includes a defeat at Blackpool and a home draw with Wigan, two games that if we were to play again would almost certainly result in six points in my opinion, it’s a pretty impressive turnaround [...]
Liverpool Youth v Manchester United Youth – Match Preview
Sunday afternoon, early kick off, Manchester United the visitors. De ja vu. This time though it isn’t the King taking on the Demented One, it’s a clash between the possible stars of the future. Still, it’s Liverpool v Manchester United and it promises to be an absolute cracker in front of what [...]
Braga 1 Liverpool 0 – Match Reaction
Add this one to the shitlist. We used to be pretty good away from home in Europe, but the last couple of years have been awful. We don’t get hammered, but we’re so pedestrian and predictable in attack and the games are like watching two snails humping, not that I’ve ever done that [...]
West Ham 3 Liverpool 1 – Match Reaction
What is it with us and relegation fodder? If a team is in danger of the drop, chances are we’re one of the few teams they’ve been able to take points off us. Wolves, Blackpool (twice), Wigan, Birmingham, Blackburn, Stoke, Everton… I bet Hodgson is licking his lips at the prospect of facing us at [...]
Sparta Prague 0 Liverpool 0 – Match Reaction
Has there been anything duller than our Euro aways this season? Spurs and Milan had served up a brutal but thrilling encounter on tuesday night, and 24 hours later Arsenal and Barcelona produced an enthralling exhibition of pass and move football that had the purists drooling. Then it was our turn. ‘Thursday [...]
Chelsea 0 Liverpool 1 – Match Reaction
“I don’t have a magic wand” was a regular expression used by Roy Hodgson. Well thankfully we’ve found a man who does. No Torres, no Suarez, no Carroll, but we still went to Chelsea and got three points. It’s the Kenny Dalglish effect, simple as that. In such a short space of time he’s got [...]
Is this a dagger which I see before me? by Chris Smith
Fernando Torres’ Liverpool career was nothing if not a little Shakespearian. What promised to be a timeless love story has slowly festered into a tragic tale, with our former No.9 willingly creeping into a frilly thesp costume to cast himself as the treasonous villain of the peace.
Just like the ill-fated King Macbeth, Torres was once [...]
Wolves 0 Liverpool 3 – Match Reaction
Just like the good old days! Spectacular goals, incisive counter attacking, moves that consist of over 30 passes and end up in the back of the net, this wasn’t quite Kenny’s 87-89 vintage, but it’s a step in the right direction. When we lost to Blackpool a week or so ago, the positives [...]
Wolves v Liverpool – Match Preview
It was 23 days ago that Wolves came to Anfield and pulled off a shock win. Just 23 days, but it seems like months. A lot has happened in such a short space of time. Roy Hodgson now seems like a distant memory, and Kenny looks so right in the dug out it’s like he’s [...]
Liverpool v Everton – Match Preview
The biggest Merseyside derby in years. Our league position alone means this has added importance to your regular derby game, but throw in Kenny Dalglish’s return to the Anfield dugout and this one is absolutely massive. We can’t really afford to be losing too many more games, as we’re only a couple more bad results [...]
Blackpool 2 Liverpool 1 – Match Reaction
Clearly there’s not going to be any magic wand effect. For the second time this season, our multi million pound collection of under-achievers were outplayed and outfought by a Blackpool team that cost less than we paid for Christian Poulsen. It wasn’t that bad until we went behind, but after that it was [...]
Blackpool v Liverpool – Match Preview
Sunday may have been the official ‘Return of the King’, but tonight is when it starts for real. Kenny only took charge of the side on the morning of the United game, so the actual impact he could have had was minimal, probably restricted to some inspirational words and very little else as he hadn’t [...]
Manchester United 1 Liverpool 0 – Match Reaction
Benjamin Franklin once famously said “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Had he been around today, he would surely have added “and Howard Webb is gonna screw you over if you’re playing the mancs”. Call it sour grapes if you like, but we got shafted, [...]
